That crazy bowlegged Chinese My Mother, she told me to open the door,
I opened the door and he fell on the floor.
That crazy bowlegged Chinese.
My Mother, she told me to give him a drink,
I gave him a drink, and he swallowed the sink.
That crazy bowlegged Chinese.
My Mother, she told me to take him to church I took him to church and he took off his shirt.
That crazy bowlegged Chinese.
My mother, she told me to take him to town,
I took him to town and he smelled like a hound.
That crazy bowlegged Chinese.
My Mother, she told me to show him a car,
I showed him a car and he stepped in some tar.
That crazy bowlegged Chinese.
My Mother, she told me to put him to bed I put him to bed and he pulled off his head.
That crazy bowlegged Chinese.
My Mother, she told me to bury him deep I buried him deep, and he stuck out his feet.
That crazy bowlegged Chinese.
